You got most but not all that come to mind from my limited experiance.
Strange as it may seem, in rare situations it may be more efficient to build a few before getting tech for better.
Later of course (when slots get tighter) the few built would be quickly scrapped, as would things like medium transports with non-fuel mizer engines.
'Always' is a dangerous word, 'almost always' is safer.
[edited to add example]
lets pretend you are a warmonger with const non-cheap and not up to 3 who started near an IT secondary world. You also have a nearby super-green planet. IT says 'friend, lets trade tech!'
You figure out it is more cost effective to build factories/mines and trade for the const 3-4 while using small freighters (likely with fuel tank) to ship early over 25% pop to your nearby colony. Later when you have privateers, your small freighter still ships germ to the nearby colony.
